For those who know the The Conjuring horror franchise well will be aware the films were based on real life events.
The films followed the journey of Lorraine and Ed Warren – a real life couple – who are portrayed as ‘demonologists’ with hearts of gold.
The films are bound with a single, underlying thread: That Lorraine and Ed Warren are and do good, saving victims from demonic, supernatural forces.
However, a new legal spat has revealed the real-life couple may not have been as loving and as lovely as they were depicted in the $1.2 billion-grossing horror movies.
In legal documents obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, it’s alleged producers of the well-known film were made aware of the couple’s dark history in the weeks after the first film was released in 2013.
Of the allegations, THR report in the 1960s, Ed Warren initiated a relationship with an underage girl, now in her 70s, called Judith Penney. In a sworn statement from Penney obtained by THR, it’s believed Lorraine knew of the affair.

These are the types of people that our young people need to be aware of & protected from through education. They can do so much damage in their lives if they naively get sucked into their delusions of reality. this is what can happen. I would suggest that this girl needs to realise that the power dynamic that this couple sucked her into may not necessarily have been what it seemed on the surface, this why people need to be very careful when reading these types of observations as there's a good chance that the power dynamic within the relationship isn't as clear cut as Penney says it was, ie the wife needs to take responsibility she was an enabler which means that she needed her husband as much as he needed her. there's also a good chance that they were just as badly damaged as each other. The only two people that really know how the relationship truly functioned or didn't was the couple in question & they would have seen it from their own damaged point of view with their own black spots blotting out the things they don't' want to accept as the truth of what happened.
